Students must pass all three areas and may retest only once. There is a $5.00 charge to retest. If testing accommodations are needed, documentation of disability is required in advance. Testing with accommodations is often scheduled individually. Following retesting, a student who does not meet the entrance requirements may file an appeal for review by the PSEO counselor. The appeal must consist of a written statement by the student indicating college readiness and at least two letters of recommendation from professionals in the education field stating college readiness in the identified areas. In addition to acceptance to the college, some college courses may have specific placement score requirements or other prerequisites that students must meet. If the prerequisite scores are not achieved, college readiness courses may be required to prepare for the identified classes. The Post Secondary Enrollment Options program does not cover tuition or book costs for college readiness courses. Students are required to pay tuition and book costs of college readiness courses.To complete an application to the college PSEO students must submit a completed SCTC Graduation Plan and PSEO Notice of Student Registration form. (These forms are obtained at the meeting with the PSEO counselor.) PSEO students are accepted to courses and majors on a space available basis. Students enrolling in high school and the College will be classified as an Undeclared Major and are limited to a maximum of 11 credits per semester. Some courses and majors may be blocked from PSEO student enrollment due to associated technology costs.Students will need to meet each semester with their college advisor to select courses and with the PSEO counselor to provide a PSEO notice of student registration. The College will set course registration deadlines each semester. PSEO students will need to bring their college fee statement to the PSEO counselor, by the due date of tuition payment. The student will then receive a voucher to use as payment for books in the college bookstore. All books must be acquired by the 15th day of a course. Books must be returned to the campus bookstore if a student withdraws from a course(s) within the first 10 days of the semester.

PSEO students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or better (C average). If a PSEO student’s GPA falls below 2.0 the student will be suspended from the college for one semester immediately following the occurrence.

Satisfactory Academic Progress StandardsFederal law requires that a recipient of state or federal financial aid make satisfactory progress towards a degree or certificate to remain eligible for aid.Students bear primary responsibility for their own academic progress and for seeking assistance when experiencing academic difficulty. Students are encouraged to keep a file of their grades and transcripts.In compliance with federal law and to implement college policy, St. Cloud Technical College has established and will apply the following standard of academic progress to all students who receive financial aid:

Qualitative StandardAll students are required to maintain a 2.0 cumulative grade point average (GPA).Completed Credits: registered credits for which the student receives a passing grade at the end of the term. Passing grades include A, B, C, D, and P. No other grade type is considered as passing. Registered credits: the total number of credits for which a student is officially enrolled at the end of the add/drop period each term. Cumulative credits: the total number of credits registered for all terms of enrollment at the college, including College Readiness courses.

Quantitative StandardAll students are required to successfully complete a minimum of 67 percent of cumulative registered credits.

Financial Aid Maximum Timeframe or Maximum CreditsAll students are expected to complete their program within an acceptable period of time.

14 15

Financial aid recipients may receive aid until they complete all of their required coursework or until they have attempted 150% of the required coursework in their program. Acceptable transfer in credits will be subtracted from the number of required credits needed to complete a program.

ImplementationAcademic progress will be monitored as follows:1. All students with registered credits during a term will be

evaluated at the end of the term.2. Any student who fails to meet minimum satisfactory

academic progress requirements for one term will be placed on Financial Aid probation for one term, commencing immediately.

3. A student on Financial Aid probation who fails to meet minimum satisfactory academic progress requirements for a consecutive term will be subject to suspension, commencing immediately.

St. Cloud Technical College may immediately suspend a student in certain circumstances, such as:• A student who was previously suspended and whose

academic performance falls below acceptable levels during a subsequent term.

• A student who registers for, but does not earn any credits for two consecutive terms.

• A student who demonstrates an attendance pattern that abuses the receipt of financial aid.

Financial Aid AppealsA student who fails to make satisfactory academic progress and is suspended from financial aid has the right to appeal based on unusual or extenuating circumstances (e.g. death in the family, student’s injury or illness, student’s dependent injury or illness, etc.)Appeals must be submitted in writing on a form available in the Financial Aid Office. The appeal must include an explanation of the circumstances that affected academic progress. The appeal must include supporting documentation beyond written explanation. Appeals must be submitted to the Financial Aid Office. The Financial Aid Committee will review the appeal. A written decision on the appeal will be provided to the student. The decision will be final.A financial aid suspended student, who has not successfully appealed, may return to school without financial aid. If a student returns without financial aid and completes at least six credits as outlined on the financial aid appeals form, the student may request reinstatement of financial aid for the next term. Successful completion means passing all classes that term with a “C” grade or better in each class. The student remains on probation until he/she reaches the 2.0 GPA and 67% completion rate.

Reinstatement by Appeal A student who has been suspended from financial aid may return to the college, and receive financial aid, after the appeal has been approved. The student will be granted another term of probation. Progress will be evaluated after the new probation term.

Incomplete, Withdrawal, and Repeat of Courses for Financial AidStudents who receive an incomplete and who do not satisfactorily complete the course within the required time frame will receive an “F” for the course. Students earning a grade of “F” in a required course must repeat that course satisfactorily prior to graduation. Students may repeat courses at the regular tuition rate. Repeated courses will affect the GPA and completion rate.Students may drop from a class within the add/drop period each term. After this time and before the last day to withdraw from a class, students will receive a grade of “W”, which affects the completion rate, but not the GPA.

Notification Process Once the steps to receive financial aid have been taken, the college will notify the student by mail, if any additional information is required. After all required information has been received by the Financial Aid Office, the College will mail an award letter to the student. The award letter will list the aid being offered. Students attending during the Summer semester will need to notify the Financial Aid Office in order to receive financial aid.

EchocardiographyEchocardiography AAS Degree (72 Credits)

Program Description Echocardiography is a specialized concentration within the field of Sonography. The demands of the cardiac sonographer require a working knowledge of detailed anatomy and physiology of the heart and its echogenic appearance as a two-dimensional image. Echocardiography technologists must be adept in scanning techniques for optimal image formation. The program coordinates academic study with the clinical experience during five semesters. Students may choose to complete some General Education courses during summer session. The clinical experience will be performed in the hospital/clinic setting and affiliate the student with one of the various echo-cardiography laboratories within the 5 state region. Cardiac ultrasound (echocardiography) is a valuable, non-invasive tool for imaging the heart and surrounding structures. It is part of the cardiology based, diagnostic testing information used in establishing a specific diagnosis and estimating the severity of various cardiac diseases. Specific findings on the echocardiogram must be integrated with information obtained from the patient’s history and physical exam, cardiac and pulmonary ausculation, electrocar-diogram, thoracic radiographs and other diagnostic tests in order to diagnose and formulate the optimal therapeutic plan for each patient. Echocardiography is used to evaluate cardiac chamber size and function, wall thickness and integrity, valvular morphology, and function, and for the evaluation of the proximal great vessels. Using ultrasound, anatomic relationships can be determined, measurements obtained, and information regarding cardiac function(s) can be derived. Technical expertise in performing and interpreting the echocardiographic examination are critical. Graduates of this program will be able to: obtain, review and integrate pertinent history and supporting clinical data to facilitate optimum diagnostic results. Perform appropriate procedures and record anatomic, pathologic and/or physiologic data for interpretation by a physician. Record, analyze, and process diagnostic data and other pertinent observations made during the procedure for presentation to the interpreting physician. Exercise discretion and judgment in the performance of sonographic and/or other non-invasive diagnostic services. Demonstrate appropriate communication skills with patients and colleagues. Act in a professional and ethical manner. Provide patient education related to medical ultrasound and/or other non-invasive diagnostic vascular techniques and promote principles of good health. Admission preference will be given to students who have completed the admissions requirements.

Career Opportunities Echocardiography is a relatively new profession. Technologists may work in hospital and clinic settings. As a growing and technically demanding profes-sion, echocardiography technologists enjoy excellent starting salaries and nation-wide job opportunities.

SonographyDiagnostic Medical Sonography-Generalist AAS (72 Credits)

Program Description Ultrasound Technologists, also known as Sonographers, perform and analyze diagnostic ultrasound images through the use of high frequency sound waves in a variety of medical settings. Hospitals are the principle employers of sonographers. Others are employed in physician’s offices and clinics, including diagnostic imaging centers. The program coordinates academic study with the clinical experience during five semesters, including one summer semester. The clinical experience will affiliate the students with facilities located within the five state region during the final spring semester. The diagnostic medical sonographer obtains sonographic images of the abdomen, small parts, gynecological and obstetrical ultrasound necessary to diagnose a variety of conditions and diseases. The student will be introduced to vascular ultrasound procedures. The sonogra-pher directs non-ionizing, ultrasound waves into areas of the patient’s body; and the equipment collects reflected echoes to form an image.
